Looking for a tasty treat for breakfast, brunch, or brinner? How about some easy baked oatmeal! Great for eating all day long, you’ll thank your past self for setting you up with such deliciousness.
Oatmeal is a favorite in this house. Everyone enjoys it and it’s easy to make a big batch of. We like it pretty plain, cooking it with water and adding in maple syrup to sweeten it up. The only problem with stove top oatmeal is that it takes forever to make, so it’s not always a great weekday option.
Enter in BAKED oatmeal and everything changes. It takes 5 minutes of hands on time and a mere 20 minutes in the oven. AND it can be made ahead and reheated, so it’s great to make on a Sunday and have it for the rest of the week. Need an easy meal for brunch? Baked oatmeal for the win!
We love eating baked oatmeal for breakfast, brunch, lunch, brinner, and snacking (we basically eat it all day long). The Big Kid even likes to have it packed for school lunches. (WHAAAAT!) It’s super adaptable to whatever you like or have on hand. You can keep it basic with (gluten free) rolled oats*, quinoa, milk, and maple syrup or you can fancy it up and in whatever you like or can tolerate (blueberries, strawberries, chocolate chips, apple chunks…).
So do yourself a favor and put some easy baked oatmeal on the menu for the week. Your past, present, and future self will thank you.
